I like how you are adapting the patient lift for supporting your bike!!!!

Is about using whats possible to get hold of cheaply, have used it for lifting an engine out of a VW Golf also, might have been pushing the limit on it then (rated for 200kg), works fine for the rototilt for the excavator also weight 200kg its a threaded rod doing the lifting.

But this is the 950 picture thread so adding an old picture I really like:
